The Supreme Court indiciated that both parties were to blame for violence in Tis Hazari court
Both lawyers and police are to blame, the Supreme Court said today after violent clashes between lawyers and cops at Delhi’s Tis Hazari court complex on Saturday left nearly 30 people injured. The shocking incident, which led to an unprecedented protest by Delhi Police on Tuesday, in which hundreds of cops took to the streets demanding protection from unruly lawyers, was caught on multiple security cameras.
“Nobody claps with one hand. Problems are from both sides. We don’t want to say more,” the top court observed, adding, “We are silent for a reason. Nobody can say we acted in a certain way since they did that”.
The Supreme Court also disagreed with lawyers’ complaints of police atrocities.
The court was told, by Manan Mishra, the Chairman of the Bar Council of India, that the situation would be resolved within two days.
The Supreme Court’s remarks were made while hearing an unrelated case on lawyers in strike in Odisha.
